Alright, so if I turn on my S3, it shows the Samsung logo, then freezes at the "Samsung galaxy S3" Other logo. I've tried to put it into recovery mode and I can't move anything with the volume buttons, I know the volume Up button works but it isn't moving anything. i also tried putting it into download mode but the down volume button doesn't work. Any solutions? Or is it impossible to fix? Thanks in advance for the replies.
You can boot into download mode by USB-jig (very cheap, google for it), get your 'newest' firmware from sammobile.com, flash it with Odin and pray, that system & buttons work afterwards.
Seems like a borked volume rocker..

recently soft bricked my new AT&T S2.I have clockwork recovery installed (4.0.0.2), and the only buttons that work are home (goes back to the first menu), volume up/down, and power to hide the menus. I can't select anything at all, it seems like I have the international version of the recovery, not one for the S2.Anyways, I can't get into download mode by holding down the home + Vol up+ power, and Odin can't seem to connect to my phone if it's in clockwork recovery and not download mode.Would the jig work? Or is having no ability to boot into download mode pretty much a killer? I can access my phone through ADB, I just don't know my way around adb as well as I would like.Is there any way to flash a different recovery via ADB? Any other solutions to get my phone up and running again? Because right now it's not booting at all.
EDIT: Managed to get back into the system. It's running the International ROM instead of mine though, so the buttons are wonky. Does anyone know where I can find the ODIN files to flash back to stock AT&T S2?

:facepalm:
First off, that's not how you get into download mode. Turn the phone off, hold both VOLUME BUTTONS ONLY, and plug in the USB cable.
With my phone, If I hold down both volume buttons and power on, it goes to clockwork recovery. If I turn the phone on holding the volume up and the home button, it goes to download (now).
I fixed that issue already though, the problem at hand is that I have the i9100 boot and firmware on here, and need the stock Odin files to fix. Can't find the files though. : /

WOW DISREGARD - too stupid to realize soft buttons work with CWM recovery. They didn't before...very premature post, my apologies
For the bootloop, I selected Advanced in CWM recovery, and then selected "Fix permissions" then I installed update from SD card. Now it works! Back to being a noob and hating my life.
-----------
I seem to have bricked my phone too...I was using ROM manager to install cm9 update (yeah, I NOW know I should not have used ROM manager). I used ODIN to re-flash cwm recovery enabled kernel. I can go to recovery, but it does not let me select any of the menu options. And when I boot the phone, it still sends me into a bootloop.
One time it did say "signature verification failed" but it doesn't say that anymore, it just doesn't move. I've read around about signature verification issues, but I haven't found anything that gets me anywhere.
I know this is pretty noobish, but I really appreciate any help!
Hey guys,
I'm attempting to fix a friends Galaxy ace as I have dealt with other android phones but i'm an Ace noobie. The problem started when the phone booted straight into recovery mode with a system/CSC error of some sort. The volume keys work to highlight an option but the home key does not respond to select the option.
I used ODIN to re-flash and everything went smoothly until it finished and it booted straight back into recovery mode but with no CSC error this time.
The home button still does not respond and a hard reset by taking out the battery just ends up with the phone booting back into recovery mode.
Do you reckon the home button is actually screwed? Or is there something more.
Thanks in advance!

I assumed thats how you select the highlighted option?
Either way the phone keeps booting into recovery and i'm stumped :/
It is how you select he must have misunderstanded you
I have never heard of a prob like this I recon this is tha button but devs like nims,spacecaker could probobly tell if this is a soft error
GOOD LUCK
Try downloading another stock rom and flas that through odin. I think there was aproblem when you were flashing the csc
Galaxy ace X Miracle V2.
I tried to Unroot my Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE last night and think I may have bricked my tablet. I used the instructions here on the XDA forum which had a link to all the Stock ROM's in one place. I got the most recent one and the only one for USA but it said it was for the model 7510. I didn't think that would be a problem since the USB drivers I installed on my PC were also labeled as being for the 7510 and they worked.
This tablet is the SCH-I905. Now I can't get it to boot at all. Gets stuck in a boot loop. Shows the Samsung logo, then resets and does it again. I can't get it in recovery mode either. Goes to a black screen and hangs.
Using the normal process to get to Download mode doesn't work. Holding Power and Volume Up, then letting go of the Power button, then pressing Volume Down and then Up. That's one weird thing. I can get to the option screen that shows the Download and Recovery mode options. Normally I would hit the Volume Down button to select Download mode and on the screen it says to press Volume Up to continue or Volume Down to cancel. If I press Volume Up it goes to a black screen and hangs. If I press Volume Down I get the Odin Download screen that says Waiting on USB cable.
That screen doesn't look the same as what I normally see but I'm not sure what's different. I didn't memorize each line of text. I just know there's not as much text there as there usually is. My PC will not recognize the tablet no matter which USB port I try to use and the tablet doesn't recognize that the USB cable is plugged in. I had no problem with the USB connection before I flashed the 7510 stock ROM.
So, if I cannot get to recovery mode and I can't get Download mode to work so I can use Odin to flash a different rom then is this thing bricked or is there something else I can try? I am about to try using my laptop and its USB ports but I don't think that's going to make any difference.
BTW, I have since found the correct 'stock recovery rom' at droidbasement.com and downloaded it to my PC. I just need to get on the tablet somehow.
Many people have your problem. I have my Lte verizon bricked as yours. The problem is demaged bootloader, only nvflash can fix it but actually our bootloader is locked and we need a hex key called sbk. At least we have to wait that somebody hack our tab from the basement. For now we can only search and share result.

help me plz
Hey guys, haveing a slight panic attack. My phone, running nightly 1/8/2012 CM10 made a weird noise like a frozen boop sound and shut off, when left alone it buzzes like it's starting up and just keeps doing that with no sign of actually booting. I can get into what seems to be Odin, and am currently downloading the stock Odin file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330 in hopes that this is a brick that is fixable. If anyone can help me identify what happened, or what I might be able to do if this doesn't work. I would really appreciate it.
EDIT: I can get into ODIN but as soon as it shows the "downloading" screen it shuts off and does the repeated buzzing sound..
Please help if you're able too.
If there is lifesigns you don't have a brick.
Just reflash your rom.
I can't boot into recovery, my only life sign is the Samsung logo at first start-up, then nothing. I can get into ODIN, but when in download mode it stays for about 5 seconds and then reboots infinitely.
Have you tried removing the battery, putting it back in, then try getting into recovery?

Stuck power button ?
Stuck volume button ??
Very common problem on gnote ....g
Volume buttons work fine, I can press down to get into download mode, but it does not stay in download mode. it reboots again and loops with no screen indicators. I can't get into recovery at all and the battery pull does nothing.
Stuck power button.....maybe
that would explain the rapid reboot.
does it attempt a reboot after pulling battery, then putting it back in ? without touching buttons ?
If yes, then power button is stuck...g
I had the same problem as you. I was stuck up in the mountains when this happened. Random reboot and then just 2 second buzzing and black screen. I ended up taking it completely apart all board connections and making sure nothing was fried or stuck. put it back together and was able to get it into download mode and reflash via odin. My only issue im having right now is getting it to root and flash recovery and rom. Hope that helps.
You might consider buying a download mode jig shown here

A USB jig will not work on the galaxy note.
If download mode is gone, the device must be restored using a JTAG service.....g
Hi
yesterday my tab s6 screen got unresponsible without anything else happened..
Then i found out that if i used the pen - the n i could turn it off from drop down menu.
I did that but then when i tried to turn it on it got stuck on that bootloop!
I can not access recovery mode - only download mode.
When i put it on charge it starts booting without showing battery percent and boots over and over until battery is drained.
In download mode i tried to flash Bootloader and firmware - but no luck ( odin proceduce succeded but the tab is still in the same bootloop )..
Still can't reach recovery menu..
Any ideas?
Recovery Mode is tricky to get to on this tablet - The timings of the button presses are difficult to nail. Assuming you weren't trying to flash anything to your tablet prior to it boot looping, I don't see any reason why you couldn't access Recovery Mode.
Reboot Tab by pressing and holding both Power (Bixby) button and volume down. Once screen turns off immediately press Power and Volume Up, let go once you see Samsung logo.

Have you done anything to your tablet prior to bootloop? Tried to flash anything, deleted anything?
Again, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to access Recovery this situation is exactly why it's there.

I opened NBA 2K Mobile and then i went away for like 20mins..
Then i opened the tab and screen was not reacting - only with pen.
I think the USB debugging is not enabled - is there any ways how to enable it without rooting?
Just tried to install a firmware through download mode - Odin shows "passed" and my tab is still in the same sh** ..:/
Hi,
Really need your help, after I updated my firmware using Odin, updated BL, AP, CP, CSC, my tab cannot boot up stuck in logo. Doing the Power + volume up leads me to different screen now.
Cannot access recovery mode also.
What must I do? Pleasssee help. Added the pic, after doing hard reset (power + vol up)
I cannot connect back to Odin also. Always setup connection failed.
Please help. Messed up big time :'(
Thank you in advance.

"setup connection failed" is a USB error. Try a different cable, or a different port on the computer, or a totally different computer
